The Price of Freedom
As I was chugging glass after glass, the sadness of my situation was getting numbed down. I couldn’t believe I was actually here. The doors to the balcony opened and I figured it was Jacob f*****g Bennett coming out to berate me so I didn’t bother turning around.
“I’m surprised to see you here,” the most alluring voice I had ever heard started speaking, and he had an accent British maybe, but definitely European. “And engaged to Jacob Bennett no less.”

“There have been recent developments,” I chuckled. God, just yesterday I was single, and now I was engaged to a t**t. If that wasn’t top tier comedy, I didn’t know what was.
I could tell that I was a little bit tipsy, after all I had like 6 glasses of wine in less than 10 minutes. Mistakes would be made tonight; I could count on that.
